American Harvesting Machinery in Aus
tralla,


Australian papers just received announce
the award of the National Gold Medal to
AULTMAN, MILLER q Co., of Akron, o., for
their Light Draft Buckeye Folding Binder,
as the result of the National field trial held
in December last The following, cut from
the Melbourne Argus Of December l6, 1886,
giving particulars of the contest, will be OF
interest. The Argus says:
The field trial OF reapers and binders in
connection with the National Show at
Shepparton was held ON Tuesday, the 14th
inst on Mr. Guthrie's farm, about two
miles from Shepparton. Owing TO the
pressure of harvest work, crops in all di-
rections being ripe, the attendance OF farm
ers did not exceed $50, but great interest
was taken in the proceedings As at the
late show, the judges placed the Hornsby
machine first M'Cormick second and the
Woods third; the "Buckeye' representa-
tive disliked being left out in the cold, and
demanded a field trial as provided by the
rules, the NJ Cormick also sharing in the
ing the field trial. The crop was ripe
wheat, and the land was so rough that
none of the machines could show very low
cutting, and the jolting over the hard clods
was tolerably severe on horses, machines
and drivers. Two o'clock was the hour fixed
for the trial, but as the Buckeye was the
only machine then ready, delay was
caused by the Hornsby and Mccormick
experts giving their machines pre-
liminary run in the adjoining block of crop,
and start was not made until quarter
past three The five judges gave great at
tention to their duties, and were ably sec
onded by the subcommittee, appointed by
the society and the secretary, Mr. Harold
B. Turnkey. About two acres were allotted
to each machine, and they finished In
the following order Buckeye" hour 10
minutes; Hornsby, l hour 10 minutes;
Mccormick, / hour 90 minutes, The two
latter machines were drawn by three
horses each, while two lighter horses
worked the "Buckeye" binder with equal
ease. The decision Of the judges was based
on the following scale OF points:

Saronian side of the isthmus. But II is
not till nearly 1000 years afterward that
we see the Corinth canal actually ap.
preaching completion. 1t Is estimated
that 1t will shorten the route from Trieste
to Athens by about forty hours for sail
ing vessels and fifteen hours for steamers
British waterways-with the excep-
tion, perhaps, of the Caledonian canal
have no pretensions to be regarded as
true ship canals. Even the Caledonian
Is constructed with locks, which takes 1t
out of the class here spoken of. 1t is
however, an "interoceanic" passage, be-
Ing a cut between the North sea and the
Atlantic; and it was expressly designed
to save vessels the dangerous circuit by
the Pentland Firth. Nor was the secu-
rity 1t might afford to merchantmen from
privateers in time Of war lost sight Of !;
In spite Of which valuable national SER
vice the Caledonian remained for long
time In the report stage"
Like Manchester, Paris Is now talking
OF Its possible conversion into an inland
port, as were Norwich and Birmingham
at the beginning Of the century, and some
other commercial centres not so long
since. Among the more important "arti-
fetal straits" now contemplated, and
which will some day probably have q
history of their own, are the canals pro-
posed to be cut through the Isthmus Of
Kra, in the Malay peninsula, and of
Perekop, In the Crimea.

Loss OF THE EMIGRANT SHIP NEW
ERA ON THE JERSEY COAST.
The Wild Scenes Of Grief and Terror on

Beach Unable to Do Aught to Save the
Passengers from watery Grave.


No one can have a half hours con-
versation on beach lore with one of the
older inhabitants of the Jersey coast
anywhere between Sandy Hook and
Shark river without being asked:
"Ye've heerd of the New Eery, hain't
yer?" And then If you chance to reply
In the negative, you will get the follow
ing story, but told in Jersey vernacular &;
In the early morning of November 2,
1854, the German packet-ship "New Era
stranded on the outer bar, short dis
lance south of Great pond, now Deal
lake, and the northern boundary of AS
bury Park. A fearful storm was raging
at the time and the waves were literally
mountain high" A life-saving station
is just north of Great pond, and Its
crew soon reached the scene of the
wreck. But this service was then in
Its infancy, and with its primitive
equipments, the chances of giving any
help, in the teeth of those waves, were
very slight. The men looked at the ship
with white faces. They could see that

Miss Braddon is about to publish her
iftieth novel.
A beautiful full-length portrait of
Queen Kapioani has been received at the

Miss Kate Field is now visiting Cali

Josie Franklin and Victoria Byrnes,
two American girls, have been licensed as tele-

Senator Blackburn, of Kentucky, has
two daughters, one of whom usually spends
the winter with him in Washington. Their
names are Therese and Corinne. The latter,
who is the younger, was with her father last
winter.
The only child of Senator Sherman Is
a daughter named Mary, to whom he and his
wife are very deeply attached. She has had
every advantage in education, including a so
journ in Europe with Mrs. Sherman a few
years since. She finished her studies and made
her debut this winter. She is blonde with a
modest manner and gentle disposition.
Mime. Duplessis Kergomard, editor and
author, has gained an important victory for
her sister women in being elected a member of
the Superior Council of Public Instruction in
France. This is important from the difficult
ties that had to be conquered and for the COM
pleteness of the victory. She is the first woman
to whom this honor has fallen, and it is a high
honor.
Miss Daisy Hampton daughter Of
Senator Hampton, of South Carolina) has &C
companied her father to Washington for three
successive winters, and her mother being dead,
has represented the family in society. Though
very young when she first began, two years
ago, Miss Hampton showed herself fully equal
to the occasion. She is a brunette with very
bright gray eyes, yelled by long, dark lashes,
and clear skin with rosy cheeks.

Cross of the Legion Of Honor for the help she
gave her husband in his explorations among
the ruins of Susa, shocked Paris the other night
by appearing at the theatre in masculine dress,

breast The papers are now recalling instances
of other celebrated French women, from Joan
of Arc to George Sand, who discarded the
usual dress of their sex. Unless she be armed
with a physicians certificate to show that she
does it for the good of her health she may be
arrested.

over $1,000 copies were sold, and was for some
time regular contributor to the Independent
She now lives on a farm in Ohio purchased with
the result Of her labors, and although sixty
two years of age, devotes much of her time to
temperance work.

verified into a morgue. At the "Pa-
vilion" Hotel, now the Atlantic" the
bowling alley was actually filled with
bodies. They would be collected as they
washed up, taken to one place, and then
buried from there. The visitor to the
Branchburg cemetery will now have two
long, dreary-looking trenches pointed out
to him, in which over two hundred of
the victims lie. None were ever identi-
fed or claimed by friends. The Inflated
people were mostly Germans of the
better class who had come to the new
country provided with money to buy
themselves homes. Nearly all the bodies
had jewels and other valuables on them,
and some large suns of money.
These of course were secured and kept
to be "called for" 1t is said that in one
house on the coast there was a room
packed "solid fulP' of clothes and
other things taken from the bodies.
What ultimately became of these Is not
known, but we will prefer thinking that
they were turned over to the proper
authorities rather than to believe the
ugly stories that are still told around the
grocery stores on stormy nights. The
cargo of the vessel was very valuable
one, consisting of fine dry goods,
fancy articles, and toys. These kept
drifting up during the winter, and
whenever storm made fresh inroads in
what was left of the hull, the beach
would be strewn with merchandise.
